Biography
Cadeyrn Wledic was related to Dejotarus Wledic and Aneirin Wledic, two fellow Welshmen in the service of the Western Roman Empire. After the Saxon invasion of 372 AD, Wledic led resistance to the Saxons with an army of "Romano-British". His guerrilla campaign consisted of two sieges of Londinium (London) and many sieges of Eburacum (York), but was defeated by Saxon faction heir Etelgis many times. By 375 he was left with a small army, and wasted them at the cost of his life in a failed attack on Eburacum. Only 5 Romano-British escaped the fray.
